Talk about vital part, what do you think about that? From all over our bodies, which one is the most vital? It seems like a biological question, right? Jajaja.... but this is quite important in order to know which part the most important is.
There is short story, and i am impressed with that. I think, that is interesting story. Last year, this story was sent by my friend, and now i want to share it again to you all. Check this out.
This story took place when i was 11 years old.
My mother used to ask me and it happened a lot, she said " hey my son, which part is the most vital part of your body?". For a years, i guessed so many time with the answer which i thought my answer was 'accurated to the target'. When i was child i thought the most vital part of our body is 'ear', because we could not get information, and you know why our God gives us two ears, but God gives us only one mouth? It is basic question, and i believe you can answer it correctly. That's why i answered 'ear', and then my mother answered "Honey, look at arround you, there are so many people live with a deaf ear. But you have to promise me that you will keep trying to answer okay? I am sure that you will be able to give me a correct answer, someday". She smiled at me, and i? I was confused, but i didn't feel dissapointed.
A year later, i tried to guess it before my mother asked me to answer. Since my first answer, i was sure, at that time was the time to show my abilities if i could answer it correctly. I answered thoughtfully that the most vital part of our body was our sight, my answer had a ground, i thought that. But what was the result?
I changed my mind, yaa i changed it after my mother gave a respons "hey it is a great answer, you are getting better than before. But i have question for you. There are so many people had lost their sight. If our sight is the most vital part, what about them? They don't have it, could you imagine? Do they lose an opportunity to reach their future? If they have lost it, is it fair for us and them? I don't think so honey, it is not fair" she said that.
I kept trying to find the answer years by years. I tried to answer so many times with the reasons depend on my opinion. Unfortunately more i tried, and more failure i got..jajaja..
but my mother always gave me a reasonable explaination to keep my confidence, and supported me to didn't easy to get tired, and certainly i got so many lessons to face the life as a gentleman. That's why, i always expect to be as wise as my mother do for the present.
Last year, my great grandfather passed away, all of my families were sad so deeply. Unavoidable the tears came streaming down their face, i remember that moment caused i saw my mother was crying for the second time moreover my father also cried. My mother was looking at me when i got a chance to look my great grandfather for the last time.
Not long after that, my mother suddenly called me up and asked "Have you already known which part the most vital of your body is?" i was taken aback by her question because i thought that wasn't right moment and right place to ask me at that time.
I used to think that wasn't an answerable question such as a joke which was given to me by my mother, no more. But she told me aslike she knew what i was saying deep in my heart, "This is important question, you will be getting better if the answer has been known by you". I was shocked, and then she proceeded her proverb "to make a sure that you are a fully human or not. Your answer will acclaim that" i kept listening her advice. She looked at me with a motherly sight, i could see the tears still came streaming down her cheek while she was saying "you are already mature enough to know the answer. The most vital part of your body is your shoulder". I didn't understand and i said "What?? Shoulder? The answer astonishes me Mom. Is it because it holds the head?", mother replied "no, because it can hold the head a friend or loved one when they are crying. Sometimes in life, everyone needs a shoulder to cry. I just hope you will always have a shoulder for others when they need it".
Finnaly i knew, the most important is not being selfish. However, sympathy for the suffering experienced by others is needed. People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how the way you make them meaningful.
